Detecting muscle activation using ultrasound speed of sound inversion with deep learning [PDF]
Functional muscle imaging is essential for diagnostics of a multitude of musculoskeletal afflictions such as degenerative muscle diseases, muscle injuries, muscle atrophy, and neurological related issues such as spasticity. However, there is currently no solution, imaging or otherwise, capable of providing a map of active muscles over a large field of ...

Ambulatory devices to detect sleep bruxism: a narrative review
Abstract Sleep bruxism is a masticatory muscle activity that occurs during sleep and presents as rhythmic or non‐rhythmic activities commonly seen in healthy individuals but might also represent movement or sleep disorders. Given that the clinical presentations of sleep bruxism are relevant to dentistry, the early detection of sleep bruxism is of ...

Adaptive Body Schema Learning System Considering Additional Muscles for Musculoskeletal Humanoids [PDF]
One of the important advantages of musculoskeletal humanoids is that the muscle arrangement can be easily changed and the number of muscles can be increased according to the situation. In this study, we describe an overall system of muscle addition for musculoskeletal humanoids and the adaptive body schema learning while taking into account the ...

The model of circular and longitudinal smooth muscle motions in the motility of intestinal segment [PDF]
Coordination in circular and longitudinal muscle motions are of crucial importance in the motor function of gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Intestinal wall motions depend on myogenic-active properties of smooth muscles layers of intestinal wall, which is the ability to create active contractile forces in response to distension.
